Jueces 18:21 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 18:21

So they turned and departed
Turned from the gate of the city where Micah dwelt, and marched forward to Laish:

and put the little ones, and the cattle, and the carriage, before them;
partly for safety from Micah, and his friends and neighbours, and partly that they might not be overdriven: their wives, who doubtless were with them, though not mentioned, and their children, and also their flocks and herds, they brought with them from Zorah and Eshtaol, as never intending to return again thither, and being fully assured they should take Laish, and the country about, and settle there; and also all their wealth and substance, as the Targum renders the word for "carriage", whatever they were possessed of that was movable; their vessels, silver and gold, and other movables, as Kimchi interprets it, whatever was weighty, valuable and glorious, as the word signifies, or that was of any importance and worth.

Jueces 18:21 In-Context

19 Ellos le respondieron:—¡Silencio! No digas ni una sola palabra. Ven con nosotros, y serás nuestro padre y sacerdote. ¿No crees que es mejor ser sacerdote de toda una tribu y de un clan de Israel, que de la familia de un solo hombre?

20 El sacerdote se alegró. Tomó el efod, los dioses domésticos y la imagen tallada, y se fue con esa gente.

21 Ellos, poniendo por delante a sus niños, su ganado y sus bienes, se volvieron y partieron.

22 Cuando ya se habían alejado de la casa de Micaías, los hombres que vivían cerca de Micaías se reunieron y dieron alcance a los danitas.

23 Como gritaban tras ellos, los danitas se dieron vuelta y le preguntaron a Micaías:—¿Qué te sucede, que has convocado a tu gente?
